Moving Target Indication for Transparent Urban Structures
Abstract
This technical report presents a time-domain moving-target indication (MTI) processing formulation for detecting slow-moving personnel behind walls. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the MTI processing formulation using data collected by the U.S. Army Research Laboratorys (ARL) ultra-wideband (UWB) synchronous impulse reconstruction (SIRE) radar. The resulting data set is representative of multiple operational scenarios including personnel walking inside wood and cinderblock structures; personnel walking in linear and nonlinear trajectories; and multiple personnel walking within the same building structure. The results indicate that our time-domain MTI processing formulation can identify moving targets even when they move slowly along trajectories that are not favorable for classical, Doppler-based MTI.
